  2. Hagen–Poiseuille equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagen–Poiseuille_equation

    Another example is when blood flows into a narrower constriction, its speed will be greater than in a larger diameter (due to continuity of volumetric flow rate), and its pressure will be lower than in a larger diameter [4] (due to Bernoulli's equation). However, the viscosity of blood will cause additional pressure drop along the direction of ...

  3. Hemodynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemodynamics

    Blood resistance varies depending on blood viscosity and its plugged flow (or sheath flow since they are complementary across the vessel section) size as well, and on the size of the vessels. Assuming steady, laminar flow in the vessel, the blood vessels behavior is similar to that of a pipe.

  4. Murray's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murray's_law

    Poiseuille flow in a cylinder of diameter h; the velocity field at height y is u(y).. Murray's original derivation uses the first set of assumptions described above. She begins with the Hagen–Poiseuille equation, which states that for fluid of dynamic viscosity μ, flowing laminarly through a cylindrical pipe of radius r and length l, the volumetric flow rate Q associated with a pressure ...

  5. Vascular resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vascular_resistance

    The blood flow resistance in a vessel is mainly regulated by the vessel radius and viscosity when blood viscosity too varies with the vessel radius. According to very recent results showing the sheath flow surrounding the plug flow in a vessel, [9] the sheath flow size is not neglectible in the real blood flow velocity profile in a vessel. The ...

  6. Strouhal number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strouhal_number

    The equation used for a blood vessel: [8] =, where, f = oscillation frequency of the microbot swimming motion D = blood vessel diameter V = unsteady viscoelastic flow. The Strouhal number is used as a ratio of the Deborah number (De) and Weissenberg number (Wi): [8]

  7. Surface chemistry of microvasculature - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_chemistry_of...

    In vasodilation the blood vessels dilate to allow more blood flow. The smooth muscle cells are relaxed to increase the diameter of flow, decreasing the vascular resistance. This is possible due to the direct relationship between the cardiac output, mean arterial pressure and the vascular resistance.

  8. Fåhræus–Lindqvist effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fåhræus–Lindqvist_effect

    The Fåhræus–Lindqvist effect (/ f ɑː ˈ r eɪ. ə s ˈ l ɪ n d k v ɪ s t /) or sigma effect [1] describes how the viscosity of blood changes with the diameter of the vessel it travels through. In particular there is a decrease in viscosity as the vessel diameter decreases, but only at small diameters of 10–300 micrometers (mainly ...

  9. Reynolds number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reynolds_number

    In turbulent flow the flow rate is proportional to the square root of the pressure gradient, as opposed to its direct proportionality to pressure gradient in laminar flow. Using the definition of the Reynolds number we can see that a large diameter with rapid flow, where the density of the blood is high, tends towards turbulence.
